Unlike its tomato-heavy cousin, Roman-style cacciatore leans on fresh rosemary and mushrooms for a more sophisticated but still hearty dish. Whole wheat fettuccine is perfect with this chicken.

Instructions

  1. Spray chicken with nonstick spray and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Press Sauté on 6-quart Instant Pot and set cooking time for 15 minutes. When Hot is displayed, add chicken, skin-side down, and cook until browned on both sides. Transfer to plate.
  2. Add carrots, onion, cremini and porcini mushrooms, rosemary, garlic, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt to pot. Cook, stirring, until onion is slightly softened, about 2 minutes.
